Center of Five-Colors City.
Ye Feng stood erect where he was, neither running nor making a move.
Clearly, the Nishang Palace Master came with great fanfare to capture the traitorous woman in red and retrieve the Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Five Elements Spirit Bead.
As for him, he was just an outsider.
Therefore, Ye Feng stood there calmly, quietly watching the internal strife of Nishang Palace.
As for leaving, it wasn’t possible for the time being.
After all, he was within the great formation of Nishang Palace, and to run he would have to break the formation, but doing so would mean going against Nishang Palace.
Whoosh!
At this moment, with the eruption of the formation, a strong suppressive force swept out, condensing into a giant hand in mid-air and reaching for the woman in red.
“Palace Master, you can’t even unleash the true power of the Five Elements Spirit Bead. What’s wrong with letting me use it?”
The woman in red laughed loudly, her hands forming a spell, as the Five Elements Spirit Bead shone with dazzling light, forming a three-meter diameter red shield around her.
No matter how much the formation’s suppressive force increased, the woman in red was unshakable like a mountain.
She suddenly raised her head, her waist-length hair flung back behind her, revealing a beautiful yet pale face.
Even without makeup, she was naturally beautiful.
“Such a beautiful girl, and yet she’s a traitor,” Ye Feng watched the woman in red and felt a bit of pity.
“The Five Elements Spirit Bead is the heirloom treasure of our Nishang Palace, nurtured by generations of Palace Masters. How could you, a mere Disciple, hope to control it?”
The Nishang Palace Master shouted loudly, her displeased gaze turning to the Disciples executing the formation, “Didn’t you eat? Use your strength!”
“Yes.”
The Nishang Palace Disciples switched to one-handed spells and took out a fragment with the other, tossing it into the air to piece together a white jade disc. In an instant, it emitted countless blades of light, striking the shield of the Five Elements Spirit Bead, causing it to twist vehemently.
The woman in red endured tremendous pressure, her hands’ veins bulging, and her robe completely shattered.
Just then, with a “crack” sound,
the shield of the Five Elements Spirit Bead finally shattered, and the woman in red spat blood as she was flung backward, landing precisely in front of Ye Feng.
In that moment, their eyes locked.
From the eyes of the woman in red, Ye Feng saw a succession of expressions—resentment, astonishment, surprise, and mockery—and he immediately sensed something was amiss.
“Damn it, I suspect she’s going to involve me!”
Ye Feng quickly stepped back.
“I can’t keep the Five Elements Spirit Bead for myself, but Nishang Palace, you shouldn’t dream of having it either!”
The woman in red roared, suddenly pointing at her own forehead, touching a drop of purple blood, then quickly writing a strange symbol on the surface of the Five Elements Spirit Bead and tossing it towards Ye Feng.
“Soul Transfer Curse!”
The Nishang Palace Master’s face changed dramatically, pointing with one finger, her True Yuan condensed into a ray of light that slashed out, ending the life of the woman in red.
But the Five Elements Spirit Bead had already struck Ye Feng’s forehead, then slid down, caught by his hand.
“I actually zoned out just now.”
Ye Feng looked at the Five Elements Spirit Bead in his palm, full of cracks, realizing that as it struck his forehead, he had momentarily zoned out, which was why he hadn’t dodged.
As for now, Ye Feng felt he had formed a special connection with the Five Elements Spirit Bead, as if he had become its master.
“Damn it!”
The Nishang Palace Master looked at the already lifeless woman in red and then at the Five Elements Spirit Bead in Ye Feng’s hand, seething with anger.
“What just happened?”
Ye Feng asked, and by the way, he handed over the Five Elements Spirit Bead to the Nishang Palace Master.
The Nishang Palace Master’s face looked a bit unsightly, and she didn’t accept the Five Elements Spirit Bead. She said, “This renegade has cast the ‘Soul Transfer Curse,’ transferring the ownership of the Five Elements Spirit Bead to you. Unless you die, no one else can take the Five Elements Spirit Bead away.”
“Ah!”
Ye Feng was startled and, worried that the Nishang Palace Master might “kill for treasure,” almost threw the Five Elements Spirit Bead away.
“Sect Master Uncle, are you alright?”
At that moment, Li Jiaojiao’s shout came from a distance.
Ye Feng and the others looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Mo Ying, Li Jiaojiao, Huo Yunjie, and another ten disciples return, each holding a demon bound by a Binding Spirit Rope.
Clearly, the disciples had completed their task.
Seeing Ye Feng standing within the formation surrounded by Nishang Palace people, looking as though he was under attack, a look of concern immediately appeared on the disciples’ faces.
“Do not attack our Sect Master Uncle!” Without another word, Shi Lei activated the Mysterious Turtle Shield, positioning himself at the forefront.
Clang!
Mo Ying did not speak, but her Flying Sword was already unsheathed.
The rest of the disciples all cast spells, ready to fight with Nishang Palace to the death.
The disciples of Nishang Palace changed their expressions slightly and all turned to stare at the disciples of Misty Sect. The atmosphere between both sides instantly escalated to a point where tensions were incredibly high.
“Aren’t you going to dismantle the formation? Could it be that you wish to attack Sect Master Ye of Misty Sect?”
The Nishang Palace Master then loudly reprimanded, which surprised not only her own disciples but also Ye Feng and the Misty Sect disciples.
“Yes, Palace Master.”
Although puzzled, the two Elders of Nishang Palace and the numerous female disciples still dismantled the formation and stood in two lines behind the Nishang Palace Master, slightly bowing their heads.
“The Palace Master doesn’t plan to kill me for the treasure?” Ye Feng asked with a frown.
“What are you talking about, Sect Master Ye? How could I kill you?” the Nishang Palace Master laughed. “Though the Five Elements Spirit Bead is our Nishang Palace’s treasure, it’s only worth two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. It’s not worth it to become enemies with Sect Master Ye over this.”
“Two thousand Spirit Stones?”
Ye Feng’s hand holding the Five Elements Spirit Bead couldn’t help but tremble, thinking that the item indeed was a hot potato.
“However, after all, it is our Nishang Palace’s treasure. If Sect Master Ye just takes it away, I won’t be able to explain it to our ancestors,” suddenly said the Nishang Palace Master.
“Misty Sect is too poor to pay two thousand Spirit Stones right now,” Ye Feng quickly shook his head.
The Nishang Palace Master shook her head and said:
“I don’t lack those Spirit Stones; as long as Sect Master Ye serves as our Nishang Palace’s Elders of Passing Power, specifically instructing our disciples, we can write off this debt.”
As these words were spoken, the entire place was filled with surprise.
Especially the Elders and disciples of Nishang Palace, all of whom raised their heads with a puzzled look at Ye Feng.
Can a mortal teach spells?
However, this was the Palace Master’s decision, and they dared not oppose it; they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“I think it would be better to just buy the Five Elements Spirit Bead with two thousand Spirit Stones!” Ye Feng did not want to create more trouble.
The Nishang Palace Master put away the smile on her face and said:
“There’s no need for Sect Master Ye to refuse in a hurry. The so-called Elders of Passing Power is just a nominal position, it won’t restrict your freedom. I hope Sect Master Ye will consider it carefully. Whenever you make up your mind, just come to Nishang Palace to find me.”
Having said that, the Nishang Palace Master waved her sleeves, and a Red Silk flew out, expanding to three meters in width and fifteen meters in length, carrying the Elders and disciples of Nishang Palace as they gracefully left.
“It’s over just like that?”
Shi Lei, carrying the turtle-shell-like Mysterious Turtle Shield, gaped, watching the people from Nishang Palace depart into the distance.
The other disciples were all prepared for a fierce fight and ready for severe injuries, but surprisingly, no fight actually broke out.
